I wish we had half a dozen votes to cast rather than just the one as there were so many good entries.

Agreed. In the car club I belong to, we run a monthly photo competition. There is an option for everyone to receive at least one vote, so that no one gets left out. It also serves to acknowledge the amount of work involved that some members put in and the entrants with the most "thank you" votes becomes the winner. Photoshop is not allowed, mild digital manipulation is permitted.
